I hope you had a meaningful Rosh Hashanah. How strange the celebration this year! My synagogue streamed the services. It took a while to adjust my mind to the unusual format, but once I did, I began experiencing some of the community of prayer I enjoy when I am together with my congregation.

The main article in this month's newsletter focuses on a mental adjustment you can use to increase your retirement savings. Many of those in their 30s and 40s tell us they find it difficult to save for retirement; after paying monthly bills, there's nothing left. They know that early savings bring the biggest reward, but don't know how to get started. We present one answer here: a simple mind trick to increase retirement savings.

Please know that you can always reach out to the JRB to discuss any aspect of your financial and retirement plan. We are just an email or phone call 888-JRB-FREE (572-3733) away.
